I have a much-played-with 4.8 system, on which I've repeatedly tried to compile 5.1-RELEASE. I have a new 4.8-RELEASE build from cvsup on the machine; when trying to build 5.1-RELEASE, I inevitably get a wide variety of errors from include files. I've cleaned out /usr/obj before starting; the errors are too numerous to all list, but here's a few: /usr/include/machine/_types.h:45: redefinition of `__int8_t' /usr/include/machine/ansi.h:130: `__int8_t' previously declared here /usr/include/sys/_sigset.h:55: redefinition of `struct __sigset' In file included from /usr/include/sys/signal.h:178, from /usr/include/sys/param.h:98, from /usr/src-5.1/src/usr.bin/make/arch.c:95: /usr/include/machine/signal.h:130: syntax error before `__aligned' /usr/include/sys/_sigset.h:55: redefinition of `struct __sigset' In file included from /usr/include/sys/signal.h:178, from /usr/include/sys/param.h:98, from /usr/src-5.1/src/usr.bin/make/arch.c:95: I know according to UPGRADE.TXT binary upgrades are not possible, but I also have not managed to build a 5.1 sysinstall to just install from a filesystem. Does anyone have any tips/tricks for me? Unfortunately this laptop has no external boot media (floppy/cdrom/etc) so I can't just install it afresh. Cheers, -John
